hello, I am trying to implement the bootstrapping to a set of insurance claim data in triangular form using the ChainLadder package. I want to obtain the prediction errors of the reserve estimate using the result from bootstrapping, here is the output:
>BootChainLadder(Triangle = incr2cum(data), R = 1000, process.distr = "gamma") BootChainLadder(Triangle = incr2cum(data), R = 1000, process.distr = "gamma") Latest Mean Ultimate Mean IBNR SD IBNR IBNR 75% IBNR 95% 2 36,241 36,241 0 0 0 0 3 47,380 47,619 239 608 341 1,449 4 45,877 47,062 1,185 1,072 1,701 3,149 5 70,696 74,224 3,528 1,850 4,613 6,683 6 83,797 90,749 6,952 2,558 8,580 11,386 7 105,933 116,061 10,128 3,173 12,212 15,464 8 169,428 186,824 17,396 4,783 20,491 25,602 9 158,634 176,267 17,633 4,462 20,446 25,362 10 123,794 139,182 15,388 3,955 17,783 22,368 11 85,531 111,495 25,964 4,697 29,147 33,862 Totals Latest: 927,311 Mean Ultimate: 1,025,723 Mean IBNR: 98,412 SD IBNR: 18,950 Total IBNR 75%: 111,257 Total IBNR 95%: 128,807 Also, would really appreciate if anyone could explain the abbreviations like SD IBNR, does it stand for Standard Deviation for IBNR? If so, then can i use this to find the prediction errors? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Bootstrapping-tp4633613.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
